it's an arm party, y'all

several weeks ago, i saw a tweet go out about having an arm party swap. seriously? i can participate in a swap where i make a bracelet for someone and in return, they're going to send a bracelet (or two) to me? could that thought be any cooler? yeah, i didn't think so either. the masterminds behind this brilliance? ilene and leonora. brilliant ladies, i tell ya!

i anxiously awaited my partner assignment and when i read all about micha and her favorite colors and summer memories, i knew we were a good match. (we won't mention the fact that we both crushed on different members of new kids on the block. that would be all sorts of embarrassing. whew.)

when i got the package, i believe i actually gasped out loud when i opened the first bracelet. mustard and gray? and it's a cuff that's made from a piece of wood with a unique leather embellishment? um, yes please! it's bold and fun and i can't wait to wear it out more...

and then there's this lovely blue number. i love it because it reminds me of cayden's baby blues. there's also this uber-cool heart clasp... seeing that little heart reminds me of all those that i love. (i know, gag. i get sappy like that sometimes. forgive me?)

i can't remember how many ladies participated, but if you want to see all the other bracelets that were made and shared, check it out here!
